Question:
Do free electrons travel to a region of higher potential or lower potential?
Solution:
The force on the charged particle in the electric field is F = qE
The direction of the electric field and the direction of electrostatic force experienced by the free electrons are in opposite directions
The direction of the electric field is higher than the potential and therefore, the electrons travel from a lower potential region to higher potential.
